NBC Unveiling Second SkyCam For Falcons-Patriots On "SNF"

October 20, 2017

NBC will “unveil a second SkyCam” for Sunday night's Falcons-Patriots Super Bowl rematch at Gillette Stadium that will “provide views from on high.” The original SkyCam used for games "flies anywhere from 12 feet to 40 feet above the playing field.” The high SkyCam goes from 40 to 80 feet and “probably will wind up mostly right in between that height.” “SNF” Exec Producer Fred Gaudelli is “intrigued by the blocking schemes” the Falcons use. He said, “In passing situations, we will probably put it on [Falcons WR] Julio Jones and see the coverage New England is deploying.” Gaudelli “plans to use the higher camera later in the season and certainly in the playoffs and for the Super Bowl” (AP, 10/20).
